EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image from the early 1900s, showcasing the picturesque Vale of Rheidol Railway in Wales. The narrow-gauge steam railway, nestled amidst the lush greenery and rugged terrain of the Welsh countryside, is a testament to the engineering marvels of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to a bygone era, where steam locomotives ruled the rails. The vintage steam engine, with its intricate design and powerful presence, dominates the scene, belching out plumes of smoke as it chugs along the track. The setting of the image is the Devil's Bridge, a popular tourist attraction located near Aberystwyth. The bridge, with its three arches and picturesque surroundings, adds to the charm of the scene, making it a must-visit destination for railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The narrow-gauge railway, which opened in 1902, was a significant feat of engineering, connecting the coastal town of Aberystwyth with the inland village of Devil's Bridge. The railway, which was once the longest narrow-gauge railway in the world, offered breathtaking views of the Welsh countryside and provided a vital transport link for the local community. This photograph, with its vintage charm and historical significance, is a reminder of the rich railway heritage of Wales and the role it played in shaping the country's history and landscape. It's a must-have for any collection of railway memorabilia or for anyone who appreciates the beauty and history of the past.
